Open threads are not ecumenical. Posters on open threads should expect their confession to be challenged, ridiculed or whatever. If the poster cannot handle that type of "town square" debate, he should stay with the closed threads (devotionals, caucuses and prayer threads) which are "safe harbor."
I can intercede to keep posters from "making it personal" but there is nothing I can do to keep a poster from "taking it personally."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
